Answer:

The idiom "to play with fire" means to act in a way that is very dangerous and to take risks. This links with the story of Prometheus because he disobeyed the gods and he stole fire to give to the humans. Even though he had done a good deed, he acted unwisely and by doing so he was punished.

Which choice could a writer use to quote evidence supporting the statement that Edgar Allan Poe foreshadows the death of Fortuna
saw5 [17]

A choice that could a writer use to quote evidence supporting the statement that Edgar Allan Poe foreshadows the death of Fortunato is The speaker's smile toward Fortunato is fake. "... .he did not perceive that my smile now was at the thought of his immolation." 

Montresor in his text gives several shreds of evidence to Fortunato as well as the audience about his motives. Montresor feign his concern towards Fortunato when he coughs violently <em>“We will go back; your health is precious”, “We will go back you will be ill, and I cannot be responsible”    </em>

To which Fortunato replies being <em>“a mere nothing”</em> and will not kill him. When Montresor replies "<em>true, true"</em> to Fortunato claiming his awareness regarding his death. Herein, Poe combines verbal irony and foreshadows the suspense through the smile of the speaker.

How is Hamlet’s behavior related to what the ghost told him in Act 1?<br> (Write your answer)
Lynna [10]

Answer:

I do not see choices, but I hope that this helps.

I do not believe that Hamlet was crazy and saw hallucinations of a ghost. He had some problems, but other people saw this ghost before he did. Other people have discussed what they saw and this is not in Hamlet's imagination. He could be really sad that his Father has died, but did he really lose his mind? Probably not.

Explanation:

Since others saw this same ghost, it is not in his head. The ghost is realllllll.
